I play in FrolickingFledglings, it's my first dom 3 MP game and I never had so much fun with any MP game untill this day. We had some extensions, but nothing painfull. I prefair alot losing against a player who actually plays to winning agains a player because he stales. I think it's great that the game doesn't kill real life and real life doesn't kill the game.

edit: Okay, now I get it! Should have read the thread about the alternative game first x-)

Ooh, Id love to play as EA arco.

I would be willing to try 1.82 cbm, but am very happy (read: Slightly prefer) 1.6

Looking forward to a game!

Thinking of throwing in my hat as EA Fomoria. Sorry if I missed it, but what's the hosting schedule going to be? (If it's, say, 24h for the life of the game, that may be a bit too quick for my schedule.)

Thought sure the schedule was in the OP at some point, but think I've lost some info with various copy and pastes between forums :( :unsure:

Anyway, the game will be on a 24 hour schedule until players prefer 48h. Which I'm guessing will happen anytime after turn 20. I've signed you up as Fomoria for now, although please let me know if the schedule is too quick for you. (although I'll more than likely be happy with the odd delay for any turn you are struggling for time on)

@ All

It now appears we have the full 10 players, so it's time for you all to start designing those Pretenders :) I'm going to have no free time to create the game and sort the map out for a little while (I'm away on an overnight business trip tonight). I will do both though the first chance I get. Which will either be late tomorrow night, or sometime on Thursday. But this shouldn't delay the game, as you can all use that time to design those Pretenders :) (I'll aim for a start before the weekend)

Will it be CBM 1.6 or 1.82. Or does it not matter regarding pretender design?

Ah yes, sorry about that. In my rush to get on a flight this afternoon I forgot to clarify the CBM issue.

Anyway, a quick count of the votes seems to give 1.82 the nod over 1.6. So please create your Pretenders using CBM 1.82. (I think new players should use 1.6 personally, but I'll put my Dictatorship instincts to one side just for this game)

(For the game itself I will create a custom mod using Trumanator's fixes for 1.82. But this shouldn't affect Pretender design AFAIK, as none of the bugs are with the Pretenders)

Ok everyone, the game is up on the llamaserver. The name of the game is "Nicer_Shade_Of_Green".

Link is here - http://www.llamaserver.net/gameinfo.cgi?ga..._Shade_Of_Green

Very important note. There is another game on the server called "A_Nicer_Shade_Of_Green". Please do not upload your pretender to this game, as it is bugged, and it will be removed at some point soon (I've left it there for now in case llamabeast wants to check the error out). So please make sure you upload your Pretenders to the correct game.

For those new to using the llamaserver, the FAQ is here - http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showthread.php?t=35160


The mods you will need for the game are linked in the OP. For your convenience, here they are.

CBM 1.82 With Some Fixes - http://z7.invisionfree.com/Dom3mods/index....post&id=1365733
Single Age Mod - http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/attachment....99&d=1212179279

You might need 7-zip to unpack the CBM 1.82 mod, as I had to max compress it to get it inside the forum attachment limit.

7-zip is here - http://www.7-zip.org/


The map is here - Greece Stain (Clean) - http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/attachment....69&d=1299106781

Note you only need the image file to play the game. If you want to play-test the map, then please download the original map.

In what sense does the map not work? Since I haven't provided any .map files to test the map image, so I'm guessing you used your own edited map file to test, and had problems using the image with it?

The image files for Dominions maps can be .TGA or .RGB, and the image file for this game is .RGB. I think those are the only two types allowed (or at least the map modding manual doesn't mention any other type). I find that which type is used for a map depends almost entirely on the map maker in question.


Anyway, attached to this post (and shortly the OP) is a .map file to test the image file with (in case there really are problems with it somewhere). This .map file provides random starts. (note that this game has fixed starts, but those locations are known only to me, as I'm a big believer in players having to find the capitals of the other players in-game)

no, the problem we have is that the map doesnt show up in the create new game screen. I've downloaded countless maps, and i dont really know why this one wont work. I dont remember using .rgb files before, but i could easily be wrong.

I think the clean image is just that, an image and not game ready. It's extra clean. I downloaded the "unclean" map of it too.

A map won't appear in the Create New Game menu unless it has a .map file. So *just* the image file in the zip file I linked indeed won't see it added to the list of maps you can create a new game with. (as I originally created the image file so the players could play this game, rather than test the map. And of course the game doesn't care if the map doesn't appear on the Create New Game menu. ie. you don't need a .map file)

But please let me know if you (or anyone) has any problems with the .map file I have posted above (and linked in the OP). As that is designed to be used for play testing, and hence should indeed appear on the map list when you create a new game.
